0hildren's Day.

Children's day at Newark NJ. f.. Church
as usual, was observed one week sooner
than the regular LAY set apart, in order
to give all an oportunity to attend the
College for the Baccalaureate sermon
In the morning of last Sunday the Sun
day school marched into the Church in
body and were seated in the front part
ofthe cdlicc. From all appearances, it
was evident that the older folks had not
been idle during the last few days that
had passed, for the pulpit was hand
somcly decorated with evergreen and
converted into fair specimen ola flower
garden. While the flowers were there
proiusioii, the birds We're not excluded,
and they joined in with the children in
the sweet songs Of praise grandly. While
the children used the notes the canaries
sang by air, and become so enraptured
that they kept on singing during the
entire service. The pastor, Rev. G. w.
Prettyman, took for his text, Il am the
Light" and used the blackboard upon
which was illustrated the main teachings
of the discourse. The sermon was plain
and practical understood by all the chill
dren, and instructive to the older folks
as well as the youth. The usual services
for the afternoon were conducted at 80
and O'Clock. The school conducted the

i & o Agent Dismissed

1t WIS surprise Ia many Ncwarkrr-,
as well as Mr.. Stmughn, that his services
would not be needed as agent at the h.
& o. Railroad station here, after We'd
nesday. Short notice, to say the least,
but as railroad companies are corpora
tons they do as they please, and if they
have man who must have Il job, some
one less fortunate, loses hls head. Mr..
Straughn worked hard for the interest of
the road and was becoming very popular
with business men. 1t is matter of re-
greet that he has to leave, and the towns
people sent long petition to hcadquar-
tiers asking his reappointment. He is
now in charge at Chester, the agent there
being injured by an explosion of an en-
CINE which occurred on Tuesday.

100000
Extra Business in June

There seems to be no end to the am
btion and enterprise of Wanamaker &
Brown;
What other clothing house in the coun-
try would think Of such thing as trying
to get 100000 extra of business in u
single month? 1t sounds like Il big bust
ness for year-let alone month.
Think of getting $25 Suits for from SIS
to S17, and Young Mems Suits at $40,
and Boys Suits at IS, and Children's
Suits at 81, the very best.
1t isn't to be denied that man make
round trip to Philadelphia, and save
money into the the bargain, when he
can get Oak Hall Clothing ut any such
prices as those.
And it's doing its work-this cut in
prices? The customers didn't hardly
seem to have had time to more than read
the advertisement in the city papers till
they began to look up those Suits al
Oak Hail."
And they found what they were after
There's one thing about Wanamaker 4
Brown you can depend On-when they
advertise anything us Il bargain they have
it. You'll not 60 there and come away
without seeing that their advertisement
is true to the very letter.
It'll not do to let the city folks have
all the good things just because they're
so near Oak Hall
Why wouldn't it do to get up bar
gain-hunting party to go to Oak Hall and
and get share of the goods that they
are talking so strongly about
But the clothes-buying party had bet
ter be made up quick, or else let every
one make Il trip to the city on his owl
account, and get his share of the profit
from the Bargain Sale" while the good
are plenty.

Pionicing.

0n Saturday last the students of New
gfk Academy and Delaware Normal
School went picnicing. The happy party
left Newark about 8 o'clock, and drove
up the creek road to Lovers Retreat.
The day was fine and the young folks en-
joyed themselves in good picnic style.
One boy fell in the creek and received IL
ducking, which was the only accident,
unless we note that Joe watched the
working of a ram" pumping, too closely
and accidently stepped on a pipe and
broke it. The party arrived home in
time for supper.

Seriously Injured.

Intelligence reached here carly in the
evening on Tuesday that Amos Osmond
conductor of the passenger train on the
Newark and Pomeroy Railroad, had been
seriously injured and have a physician at
the station when the train arrived. 1t is
impossible to state just how Mr.. Osmond
was hurt. The train left here 1925, and
at Chatham, about fourteen miles above,
there was some shifting of freight cars
and on the return to Newark it is sup
posed that the conductor was looking
ahead, standing on the steps of the pas
senger car, when he was struck by Il
freight car. lie received several severe
gashes on the head, also much bruised.
He is hurt internally, us to what extent
the doctor cannot tell. The train ran
three miles before Mr.. Osmond was miss
ed. Backing the train the injured man
was found lying beside the track in an
unconscious condition, and close to the
freight cars. lie has had several hemor-
rhages, and remained unconscious for
some time.
Just before going to press we learn that
the injured man is better and it is be-
lieved that he will recover.

When the appetite fails, and sleep
grows restless and undressing, there is
trouble ahead. The digestive organs,
when healthy, crave food, the nervous
system, when vigorous and tranquil,
gives its possessor no uneasiness at night.
A tonic, to be effective. should not be Il
mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaidec
action of n sedative or narcotic. What
is required is a medicine which invigor-
ates the stomach, and promotes assimi-
lation of food by the system by which
means the nervous system, as well rs
other parts of the physical organism, are
strengthened. These are the effects of
lIostetters Stomach Bitters, medicine
whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence and which physicians
commend for its tonic, anti-bilious and
other properties. 1t is used with the
best results in fever and ague, rheumatism
kidney and uterine weakness, and other
maladies.

did. We were cooked and primed to
b :ar the truth, as he looked every inch

woull not say anything bad of the press
